The new JCB 457 wheel loader’s MTU engine offers you plenty of low-end torque and maintains it over a wide power band. By using lightweight materials in the construction of the machine, you can also expect an excellent power-to-weight ratio.

To save on fuel, the engine idle shutdown feature can safely apply the brakes and turn your machine off after a programmable amount of time.

Wheel speed braking means the brakes on the new JCB 457 front loader rotate at the same speed as the wheels for heat and drag reduction, as well as improved fuel economy.

JCB’s innovative variable displacement pumps feed a load-sensing valve block which only consumes power on demand. Unloaded spool valves in the valve block allow the arms to lower under gravitational – not hydraulic – force; this reduces fuel consumption still further.

It’s easy to get to the engine on a new JCB 457 with a large automatic opening single-piece bonnet. Accessing the diesel and DEF tanks is similarly straightforward via the lockable grille at the rear of the machine.

This wheel loader’s braking system has a virtually maintenance-free lifespan courtesy of full dual circuit hydraulics with multiple oil-immersed discs.

The standard cooling package is a large single-faced unit so you can be assured of quick, easy and safe cleaning.

By using exclusively premium components (MTU engine, ZF transmissions and axles, Rexroth pumps and Parker valve blocks) on the new JCB 457 wheel loader, we've built in long service life as standard.

If you plan to use your new JCB 457 wheel loader for quarry work, choose the dedicated quarry safety pack, which includes blue flashing reverse lights, a green operator presence beacon, a rear object detection system, and hi-viz exterior chevrons.

Access steps are inclined and equally spaced, complemented by well positioned grab handles for three points of contact at all times.

On the new JCB 457, you’ll find the rear-view mirrors mounted in front of the A-pillars for improved visibility. Interior mirrors, heated exterior mirrors and bonnet mirrors combine to offer excellent views to every corner of your wheeled loading shovel.

The new 457’s cab is isolator-mounted, compliant with ROPS/FOPS standards, and positively pressurised against dust. You can choose from fresh air, carbon and P3 – HEPA recirculation filters as well.
